The meeting addressed opportunities to enhance UAE investment in Peru and advance cooperation across several sectors, including finance and digital government transformation, while exploring new opportunities that would serve their shared interests.

The two sides also discussed cooperation in the water sector and the possibility of supporting drinking-water projects in Peru, which would contribute to strengthening the country’s ability to address the potential impacts of El Niño.
